If you planned to do some holiday road tripping and you haven't left yet...good luck with that. But that means you're reading this entry and will be able to take advantage of the iExit app that can identify what goods/services are located at the next interstate exit along your trip.

The Lowdown: iExit automatically determines what interstate you are currently on, what direction you're traveling, and which upcoming exits contain your favorite chain brands. Whether you're looking for a single chain brand, an exit with multiple chains, or a Rest Area, iExit can help you plan your road trip strategy, so you don't lose those precious "making good time" road trip minutes looking for a rest spot that everyone in the car can agree on. iExit stores its point-of-interest data locally on your iPhone so it doesn't require phone service to work; it only requires a clear view of the sky for the GPS device to work.

Here is the list of Point of Interest Categories that iExit can track on your trip:

At any time, you can select which ones you want iExit to display while travelling. So if during the last exit you took care of the "potty breaks" and now are looking for an exit with a sit-down restaurant, you can select that category only and get a list of upcoming exits with businesses that suit your needs.

Another cool feature of iExit is that you can extend your search to businesses that are not on the interstate, if you do decide to venture farther off the beaten path to find your all-time favorite spot to stretch your legs (I personally like to find Dairy Queens on my route). With iExit, you can navigate those small towns and still know where you are relative to all major interstates.

My Verdict: I am a stickler for "making the best time" while on road trips. If I absolutely must stop for the "I didn't have to use the restroom then" pit-stops, with iExit, I can at the very least plan an impromptu stop by knowing what businesses are located on interstate exits, to ensure that I am not far off from my record trip time. iExit is a free download from the iTunes App Store (OS 3.0 and up).
